Just in time for Pride Month this year, HBO has announced that Our Flag Means Death will return for a second season of stories about recreation and love on the high seas. In a statement on the renewal of Our Flag Means Death, series creator David Jenkins expressed gratitude to the show’s fandom for his support and commitment to the unexpected romance at the center of the first season.
“We felt the show was special while we were doing it, but the open embrace of the fans to the inhabitants of Revenge makes the start of a second season even sweeter,” Jenkins said. “Thanks to our HBO Max team, our invested executive producers, and our enthusiastic audience for making another trip to this world possible.”
The first season of Our Flag Means Death ended with Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and Blackbeard (Taika Waititi) finally realizing that they had fallen in love with each other just as a mixture of poor timing and communication break your escape plan and start over. live together. When we spoke to Jenkins earlier this year about season 2 before it was officially announced, he said that the upcoming episodes of Our Flag Means Death will explore the emotional spaces that Stede and Blackbeard find themselves in after their fall.
Just as Season 1 was about the experience of truly falling in love for the first time, Jenkins said, Season 2 will investigate how it feels to have a broken heart.
“The pirate stuff is there, but it’s about those things,” Jenkins said. “If you can keep up with the broken heart and try to recover, and do something that hurt someone you love and try to fix it, it’s an interesting story.”
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
